Instagram 2.0 Comes With Higher Quality and New Filters

Hit photography app Instagram has released version 2.0, with live effects, new filters and much higher resolution photos. The update has four new filters, Amaro, Rise, Hudson, and Valencia — the company worked with popular Instagrammer @colerise to create the effects.

 

See the world through Instagram’s stunning effects before you even snap a photo. Simply select a filter, hold the camera up to the scene and see the world through Instagram’s visual effects. We’ve re-written your favorite Instagram filters to be over 200x faster so even after having taken a photo, switching between them takes no time at all.

Perhaps most importantly, the app now supports images up to 1936×1936 on the iPhone 4, up substantially from the prior version, which only supported images of 612×612.

  • Instant live filters & live tilt-shift
  • 4 new filters
